IMPROVEMENT IN GRAIN AND STRAW CARRYING ATTACHMENT TOR SEPARATORS.

Specification forming part of Letters PatentITo. 100,532, dated March 8, 1870.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we,BYRoN J AQKSON and BENJAMIN F. JACKSON, both of Woodland,

county of Yolo, State of, California, have in-=.

vented an Improved Grain and Straw Carry- -ing Attachmentfor Separators; and we dohereby declare the following description and thus increasing materially the amount of work attached.

that can be done by the machine.

The arrangement of the parts with relation to any separator is such that they can be easily It consists of a spout of snflicient length, with a carrying-belt moved bya pulley, which is connected directLy with the machine, thespout extending to the stack at one end, while the other rests upon the feeders table, andis supported by a swivel at one side, so that it can be moved to any position Without deranging-the parts.

\Vhen the machine stands between two riers-one uponeach side of the machine.

To morej'ull y explain our invention, reference is made to the accompanying drawings,

forming a part ofthis specification.

A is a part of a separator containing the thrashing-cylinder, and B Bare the feeding- 'tablesone on each side-the feeder standing in the space between them andb'cfore the 1 throat of the machine. 'The spouts QO extend from the tables B to the stacks on each side, and support thecarrying-belts D D.

Twolegs, E 1*),support the ends of each spout,

their lower ends being driven into the stack, while the upper ends pass through staples in' the sides of the spouts, and are there fastened by set-screwsor other device, so that as the stack is gradually lowered the spouts may also r be depressed to be always within easy workf ingdistance. The car y hi' mounted in the usual-manner, and driven by' a pulley,

F, at the inner end. The shaft 0 of this pnlley rests in open slots in thesides a b. of; a frame or standard, which is pivoted at the bot; tom and top, as shown',so that the spout may be carried around this poi at, as acenter to different parts of the stack. The belt G runs from. the pulley F to a pulley, H, which is driven by the main belt I. This is accomplished by passing the lower part of the belt beneath a tightening-pulley, J, and thence directly over a friction-pulley, K, which is mounted on a shaft extending across the machine, and earrying at its outer ends the pulleys I-I. From this the belt passes around the pulley d of the thrash'lngcylinder, as usual; \Ve are thus enabled to drive the carrying-belts in the most direct manner, and without too much extra machinery. It also renders it unnecessary to drive them from other shafts, which may already have all the attachments which it is possiblefor them to drive.

By using fast and loosepulleys at F. and

placing the levers within easy reach of the feeder. either of the grain-belts may be stopped at will.

\Vhen the machine is to be moved, the belts G are slipped off and the shafts of the pulleys F lifted out of the slots in the standardsa and b, after which the spouts may be transported ,in any convenient manner to the next stopping "place, where a few moments suflice to set the machine up again ready for work.

\Vhat we claim as' new, and desire to secure byfLettersPatent, is-

1. "The slotted standards a and I), supporting the shafts C,and turning about vertical ares, to allow the spouts to be adjusted, substantially as herein described.

2. In combination with the device above 'ciainied, the arrangement of the pulleys J and IL-for ,driving the pulleys H and F, to give motion tothe carrying-belt, substantially as described.

In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands and seals.
